T-Mobile announces a mea culpa Monday in the form of the myTouch, a new Android phone that addresses the most common complaints. The myTouch will be available to T-Mobile subscribers at the end of July, the company said.

Not that T-Mobile is throwing the G1 under the bus. It has sold a million G1 phones, enough to qualify it as a hit, they say, with a crowd they call “tech seekers.” But that is a comparatively small crowd.

To reach to the less tech savvy customer the new myTouch has been given a friendlier look. It’s thinner than the G1, and available in black, white and maroon. It is missing the curved “chin” of the G1, which made the phone pop a wheelie if the phone was on a flat surface when the track ball was used. The buttons stand higher than the face of the phone than on the G1, making them easier to press.

Interesting Reading..
